SPECIAL PHYSICAL TRAINING OF YOUNG RHYTHMIC GYMNASTS, TAKING INTO ACCOUNT MORPHOTYPOLOGICAL DIFFERENCES

Abstract

When selecting candidates for the initial training stage in rhythmic gymnastics, preference is given to girls with thin-boned body types, who as a rule have reduced morphofunctional indicators and, as a consequence, a lower initial level of physical fitness, which must be taken into account in the training process. Therefore, the aim of our work was to develop a methodology of physical training for young gymnasts based on a differentiated approach according to morphotypological criteria. Based on the results of the study, we identified a certain specificity in the physical fitness of gymnasts aged 6-8 years depending on the somatotype, which formed the basis of the methodology of physical training for gymnasts of different somatotypes. The developed methodology helps to level out the "weak" aspects of the physical fitness of gymnasts of different somatotypes, thereby promoting harmonious physical development, which is the main task of physical training at the initial training stage in accordance with the regulatory documents (the federal standard for the sport of rhythmic gymnastics).
